THE SENATE QUESTIONS THREE APPOINTEES Fletcher, Page and Coulter Give Views on Tariff at Public Hearing. By the Assoclated Press. | Three of President Hoover's recess appointees to the reorganized Tariff Commission were subjected to a rigor- ous public examination of their qualifi- cations and tariff views by the Senate Finance Committee yesterday prepara- | tory to reporting their nominations to | the Senate. The three other members of the bi- partisan body will be questioned to- | morrow. Senator Couzens of Michigan and La Follette of Wisconsin joined the Demo- crats in voting for an open session, overruling Chairman Smoot and other Republican regulars, who favored the usual practice of considering nomina- tions behind closed doors. Henry P. Fletcher of Pennsylvania, Republican chairman of the commis- |slon and former diplomat, was ques- tioned by both Republican and Demo- cratic_members, as were Thomas W. Page, Democrat, Virginia, and John Lee Coulter, Republican, North Dakota. Fletcher told Senator Reed, Repub- lican, Pennsylvania, he had never en- gaged in tariff “lobbying.” Replying to Senator Harrison, Democrat, Missis- sippl, he sald he was a Republican, but was associated with no faction in Penn- sylvania; had seen former Senator Grundy, high-tariff advocate, but three times in his life, and had sold all stock | holdings, including some oil shares, be- fore going on the commission. He sald he had no general tariff views and had not studied the 1930 act, but expected to acquaint himself with the provisions as “the cases come along.” byKe denied charges in a mw:! read Senator Harrison regarding alleged discourteous treatment accorded R. E. Jeffery of Arkansas, while Fletcher was Undersecretary of State. Jeffery, a Wil- son appointee, had resigned as Minister to Uruguay and was kept walting three h | days for a conference, the letter said. ‘The letter quoted FTetcher as saying to Jeffery, “What in the hell is the matter with those people down there?” Fletcher sald the commission had been a “very happy family” thus far, and all decisions had been unanimous. Personnel, he added, had been chosen without regard to politics. 'age, & member of the Taft d Wilson Tariff Commissions, said he still was opposed to the flexible tariff. Sena- tor Bingham, Republican, Connecticut, expressed surprise, saying the commis. sion’s principal task was to administer this clause. Page said he went on the com lon to correct “inequalities and injustices” in the presnt act and not to readjust rates up and down generally. He added he believed the new flexible clause an improvement. Coulter, former chief economist on the commission, said President Hoover asked him if he “technicallv was a Re- publican.” in talking over his appoint- ment. He replied he had been listed as a progressive Republican for 30 years. “He didn’t ask you if you were a Hoover Republican, did he?” inquired Harrison. “No, he didn’t,” Coulter replied.

CHOOSE HAZARD TO HEALTH Possible Spread of Disease by Planes Gives U. S. Serv- ice Difficult Problem. By the Associated Press. International aerial transportation has brought & new health hazard for the Public Health Service to cope with. Surg. Gen. Hugh 8. Cumming said yesterday in his annual report to Con- gress it had brought the danger that cholera, bubonic plague and yellow fever would be transported serially across international boundary lines. He pointed to the two extremes of the health service—the international and local units—as presenting the greatest needs for immediate action. Rural Guards Urged. He urged world-wide reports on epi- demic diseases and whole-time all-pur- | pose‘ health organizations in rural dis- tricts. His recommendations for organization in rural America, only 25 per cent of which is now provided for such service, followed closely the plan outlined by the White House Conference on Child Health and Protection. “Development of efficient whole-time local health organizations through which all necessary public health activities may be conducted in proper sequence and in proper relation one to the other, is the program which will yield a far greater return on the dollar invested, on lives saved and sickness prevented among all groups of both sexes than any program limited by spe- clal diseases or to particular elements of the population,” the report said. Certain Diseases Increase. Last year the United States enjoyed good health generally, the & n gen- eral reported, but um!‘:'m diseases Small pox, reventable by vaccina- tion, ad from 34,685 cases in 1927 to 41,458 cases in 1929. which inq X population in 1924 to 5.7 per 1928 was held to 5.5 in 1929. m slight falling off. Infantile paralysis, slight in 1929, showed more than usual prevalence in 1930. TEXTILE EXPERTS ELECT Chemists and Colorists SBelect Bos- ton for 1931 Convention.
